John McCutcheon
Multiple Grammy-nominee John McCutcheon charms audiences with “story telling that has the richness of fine literature” (Washington Post) and his mastery of a stage full of folk instruments is simply amazing. He plays guitar, fiddle, autoharp, banjo, jaw harp, (hambone if we are lucky) and is best known for his hammered dulcimer playing. A John McCutcheon concert is always energizing, fun, uplifting, community building, and his audiences leave with a renewed sense of hope for humanity. “This notion of telling stories of ordinary people who have done great things, and carrying those stories from one place to another, of telling people ‘this is where I’ve been, these are the stories I can bring you,’ is the heart of what I do,” McCutcheon sums up. “That’s my goal. If you can recognize yourself in my songs, then I’ve done my job.” He lives in Georgia but keeps moving, toward wherever he senses there’s still a story yet to be told.
His 30 recordings have gathered many honors including 7 Grammy nominations, but it is in live performance that John feels most at home. It is what has brought his music into the lives and homes of one of the broadest audiences any folk musician has ever enjoyed. People of every generation and background seem to feel at home
in a concert hall when John McCutcheon takes the stage, with what critics describe as breathtaking in their ease and grace…, like a conversation with an illuminating old friend.
So if you want to laugh, cry, be inspired, and feel like you are a part of a big community, then don’t miss this concert.
Whether in print, on record, or on stage, few people communicate with the versatility, charm, wit or pure talent of John McCutcheon.

É.T.É
With lovely vocal harmonies, a deep groove, and rich instrumentation, É.T.É is an explosive trio on stage, transforming the nostalgia of a kitchen party into an unforgettable show experience that celebrates the joie de vivre of Québecois culture. Awarded the OPUS prize for “Discovery of the Year 2017-2018” and the Creation Aldor 2025 award at the Festival Trad Montréal, this trio is quickly winning over the hearts of listeners worldwide. Élisabeth Moquin (fiddle, step-dancing, vocals), Thierry Clouette (bouzouki, foot percussion, vocals), and Élisabeth Giroux (cello, vocals) create their own trad universe with original compositions and unique arrangements of Québécois and Acadian repertoire. The word été in French means summer – a fitting tribute to how their original, lively take on Québec traditional music is infused with a new vitality. The group has toured extensively throughout Canada, the USA, Scotland, Belgium and Australia. Their most recent album, Sur ces eaux, was released in November 2022 and they will release their fourth album in fall, 2026.
This concert is a fundraiser for the Corvallis Celtic Festival.

Alex and Tatiana Hargreaves
Fiddlers Alex and Tatiana Hargreaves return to Corvallis — where the siblings grew up — from meteoric careers in old time, bluegrass, American roots and new acoustic music.
Alex Hargreaves currently tours full-time with Grammy award-winning guitarist and singer Billy Strings, having previously toured with Jerry Douglas, David Grisman, Bela Fleck, Danilo Perez and Sarah Jarosz. Described as “one of the greatest improvising violinists in America today” by virtuoso mandolinist/composer Mike Marshall, Alex Hargreaves released his debut album in 2010, which included special guests Bela Fleck and Noam Pikelny, and was a member of the Grammy award-winning Turtle Island Quartet from 2016-19.
Tatiana Hargreaves currently tours with Allison de Groot in a duo format, described by Paste magazine as a “can’t-miss pair.” Their rendition of Alice Gerrard’s song “Beaufort County Jail” was included in Rolling Stone Country’s “10 Best Country and Americana Songs to Hear.” Having toured with musicians that include Dave Rawlings, Gillian Welch, Laurie Lewis, Darol Anger, Bruce Molsky and Jake Blount, Tatiana Hargreaves brings a musical fluency that crosses genres with ease and offers continual musical freshness.
